Chapter 348: Visitation
Qi Xia found a place where no one was around, and took a look at her clothes, and there was a bruise on her little belly.
People up and down the British Mansion said that the second master was kind and kind, she didn't dare to make a sound, and she had to accompany Song Han to Yizhitang to visit Dou Zhao the next morning.
"I'm going to have a nephew next summer?" Song Han was wearing a dark green brocade robe, which made his face look like a crown of jade, gentle and elegant.
Dou Zhao smiled and nodded, and took the orange cake for him to eat.
His eyes lit up and he smiled: "It's Fujian's orange cake!" Doesn't it mean that there is a strong wind in Fujian, and winter bamboo shoots and orange cakes are not available on the market? ”
"I liked to eat sweet and sour food a few days ago, and your brother specially asked someone to send it from Fujian." Dou Zhao vomited for two months, Song Mo thought of a way to get her to eat, she was not thin, but she developed the habit of eating a few snacks from time to time. Seeing that Song Han was eating well, she also took an orange from the box and peeled it.
Song Han said: "Others say that sour and spicy girls, sister-in-law, you must be pregnant with a boy." ”
The case of the British government has long been closed, and the conclusion of the Shuntian Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is that all the thieves are in the law, Song Mo also agreed with this conclusion, returned the sword of Emperor Taizong, and he began to be on duty in Jinwuwei according to the normal time, and he had to stay in the palace for two days every few days.
Today is the day when Song Mo enters the palace, he just left with his front foot, and Song Han came over with his back foot. Song Han is fourteen years old this year and looks taller than Dou Zhao. It stands to reason that Dou Zhao should avoid it, but Song Han went directly into the main room as if he didn't know that there was such a thing, but Dou Zhao had other plans, turned a blind eye to it, and entertained Song Han in the banquet room.
"Cheng Second Master Ji Yan." Dou Zhao smiled, "Your brother and I also hope to be a kid." ”
If she gave birth to a son, Song Han would be the third heir in line, and she wanted to know what Song Han's expression would be.
"That's good." Song Han smiled and looked very happy. "When the time comes, I can also take my nephew to practice martial arts, fly kites, and play ice ...... like my brother took me when I was a child."
Dou Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, gossiping with Song Han about his parents.
Qi Xia was invited by Su Xin to drink tea in the tea room.
"I heard that my sister's good day is set at twenty-two, and today I am twenty, why is my sister still working as an errand in the house?" Qi Xia held the steaming Longjing tea and asked Su Xin curiously.
I'm afraid that other people won't be able to ask the idea.
Su Xin muttered secretly in her heart, but her smile was as gentle as before: "Madame rewarded me with a small house with three entrances, and when the time comes, I will marry from Yizhitang and marry there." My sister, Ganlu, and Sujuan all went over to help me clean up my new house. I'd better stay with my wife. ”
Qi Xia couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Is my sister going to marry from Yizhitang?" ”
To be able to become a monk from the master's house is a great dignity.
Su Xin smiled and bowed her head.
She felt that something was wrong, but Mrs. wanted her to marry from Yizhitang, and the prince also said that it was okay, and said that Su Lan would marry. The sedan chair also went out from Yizhitang...... She didn't know how to be grateful, so she knelt down and kowtowed three times to the prince in a proper manner.
"That's really congratulations to my sister!" Qi Xia couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.
It was rumored in the house that the eldest maid next to Mrs. was married, and Mrs. took 2,000 taels of silver for her as a dowry. She didn't believe it at all, but now it seems to be true.
Su Xin took a bowl of bean yore, donkey rolling, radish cake and other snacks for her to eat.
Qi Xia is the big girl in Song Han's house, and she wants to serve Song Han's pen and ink. I also know a few words roughly.
The dim sum is made of molds, and there are three words at the bottom.
She hesitated for a long time and said, "Sister, this is something from the imperial gift, right?" We ate like this. Will Madame be upset? ”
Su Xin smiled: "Didn't Madame have no appetite a few days ago?" The prince only hopes that his wife can eat a little more, and move everything to the house, these are the most common, and there are many at home. If it is left for a long time, it will be broken, and the lady will reward people with these boxes and those boxes. Or I look like it's about to be the New Year, and it's very decent to take it out to reward people or give gifts, so I forced some to stay. You just have to eat, if you think it's good, you can also bring a few boxes back to the little maids in the second master's house to taste. ”
The sweet and soft glutinous pea yellow is Qi Xia's favorite, especially the one given by the palace, sweet but not greasy, with a long aftertaste, but thinking of the kick I received yesterday, the pea yellow in my mouth does not seem to be as delicious as in the past.
She took a sip of tea, and saw a little girl with bright eyes and bright teeth and a maid running in, shouting "Sister Suxin".
Su Xin's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "What's the matter?" If you surprise Madame, watch out for your skin! ”
The maid took two deep breaths, evened out her breath, and then said: "Old Mrs. Lu and the eldest princess of Ningde came to see Madame, I heard that you are getting married, and the two ladies have a reward, and Madame asked me to invite my sister to kowtow and thank you for the reward." ”
The British Mansion is so big, who would know a maid? The reward is just for the sake of the lady's face.
Qi Xia thought in her heart, and sent Su Xin, who was slightly red, out of the door.
The little maid looked at her curiously: "Is my sister Sister Qi Xia in the second master's house?" It's so good-looking. No wonder others say that the two sisters in the second master's house are both beauties! ”
There are two big maids in Song Han's house, and the other is called Caiyun.
"My sister is really beautiful." Qi Xia smiled, "I don't know what my sister is called?" ”
"My sister called me Ruozhu." The little maid smiled, "I am a second-class maid in the lady's house, but after Sister Su Xin and Sister Su Lan get married, I will be promoted to the next level." She was a little proud, "When the time comes, I'll go to the upper room to play with Sister Qixia." ”
The first-class maids of the British government, who are in charge of several second- and third-class maids, have their own free time.
Qi Xia knew that several second-class maids named "Ruo" in Dou Zhao's house had followed Dou Zhao from Zhending, and they were Dou Zhao's descendants, although they were not very old, they were very decent. Perhaps because after marrying into the British Mansion, the relationship with Zhending gradually faded, and because of the discord between the grandfather of the country and the prince, the new little maids of Yizhitang this time were all selected from the various granges of the Song family.
She smiled and said "yes".
Ruozhu chatted with her cracklingly.
What kind of character is Ruotong, who is she and the first-class maid this time, how uncomfortable is the other two "if" words, and which of the new little maids are restless, and soon rushed to the front of Mrs., how did Su Xin clean up those little maids...... The bamboo tube is like pouring beans. Without waiting for her to ask, Ruozhu said it all.
Qi Xia couldn't help pouting.
What's the use of such a brainless person, even if he is pretty? If it hadn't come from Zhending, I'm afraid I would have been stepped on by someone a long time ago and wouldn't be able to get out.
She smiled and listened to Ruozhu talk about the things in Dou Zhao's house, and interjected two sentences from time to time, and Ruozhu spoke more energetically.
A little maid lifted the curtain and shouted Ruozhu: "Go quickly, Mrs. Shizi from the Marquis Mansion of Yan'an is here." ”
"I've got to go serve tea." Ruozhu jumped up when he heard this, said hello to Qi Xia, and ran away like a gust of wind.
Another little maid came to invite Qi Xia: "Sister." The second master is going back to the house. ”
Old Madam Lu and the eldest princess of Ningde are in-laws, but the young lady of Yan'an Houfu is a female guest, so Song Han naturally can't stay.
Qi Xia hurriedly went over to serve Song Han and put on a cloak, and helped him to go to the upper room.
Song Han asked her, "What did you just say?" ”
If Song Han needs to be served by the maid who came over like this. Wherever Song Han goes, the maid will follow. If Song Han didn't need his own maids to serve for the time being, these maids would usually be placed in a place like a teahouse or an ear room, and the maids or grandmothers beside the master would accompany them to eat tea.
After yesterday's incident, Qi Xia couldn't help but want to please Song Han and tell Song Han what happened in the teahouse as a joke.
"Sanjin's small courtyard?" Song Han muttered, "You can hear clearly." Is it three rooms or three entrances? ”
"The slave can hear clearly." Qi Xia said, "It's Sanjin!" ”
Song Han stopped, stood on the verandah, looked at the withered branches that were blown by the cold wind, and was silent for a long time, and said, "You go to that Ruozhu and ask what congratulatory gifts Gu Yu has sent." ”
Qi Xia also felt that Ruozhu couldn't hide his words. answered "yes" with confidence, sent Song Han back to the upper room, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find a few threads, and went to Yizhitang in the afternoon.
Because she is a maid in Song Han's house. The people in Dou Zhao's house treated her very politely, and I heard that she came to find Ruozhu. He invited her to sit in the back of the main room.
"There are a lot of guests here today, and Sister Ruozhu is still serving in the upper room." A little maid named Fufeng, who was only eight or nine years old, brought her tea and poured water, "Sister Ruozhu is in any hurry?" If you are in a hurry, I will take the time to bring you a message. If there is no urgency, my sister will sit down for a while, eat some snacks and fruits, and wait for Sister Ruozhu. ”
At this time, Qi Xia should come back another day. But Song Han's hideous face under the light suddenly appeared in her mind...... She couldn't help but shudder, and faintly felt that if she didn't do what Song Mo told her to do, the situation last night might be repeated again.
She smiled cheekily and said, "Then I'll wait here for Sister Ruozhu." ”
The breeze took some fruit and the like to pass the time for her, and then withdrew and went on her errand.
Qi Xia waited in the back room until it was time for dinner, and Ruozhu ran in panting.
She first drank a bowl of tea with a grunt, and then asked, "What is my sister looking for me?" ”
Qi Xia said what she meant.
Ruo Zhu smiled: "It's a little thing, why didn't my sister come here in person?" Just let a little maid bring a message. I'm too busy today, I can't leave, and it's almost time to give the next key - the prince doesn't know how many people have been announced, this and that one have come to congratulate, tomorrow I will go to the account room to help my sister ask. ”
Qi Xia thanked her for her kindness and gave her those few strings and went back to the upper courtyard.
If Zhu took a look at the yarn, the plum blossoms were inlaid with two pieces of jadeite, and a few beads were inlaid in one line, which was worth a lot of money at a glance.
She smiled and took the veil to the main room.
Dou Zhaozheng had dinner with his aunt and Zhao Zhangru.
Seeing her probing her brain, she smiled and said, "Come in and talk!" ”
Ruo Zhu walked in with a smile and showed Luozi to Dou Zhao: "Madam, it was given by Qi Xia in the second master's house, and asked me to help inquire about what congratulatory gifts Gu Gongzi sent you." ”
